A Well-Structured, Organized Training Atmosphere That Your Pup Needs
Every dog has their own unique training needs. That’s why Active K9 offers two different dog training programs to best suit the learning needs of our students and the schedules of their humans.
Our Dog Training Programs To Meet Your Needs

Private Dog Training
Our private dog training programs for puppies and adult dogs is best for pet owners who want to participate in the training of their canines. This program is time intensive and requires dog-parents to devote their time to daily training exercises. If you want to actively create a stronger bond with your dog and gain a greater understanding of canine behavior, this is the program for you. All training takes place in the comfort of your own home.

Board and Train
In our Board and Train program, your dog gets all of the professional training they need in a structured environment at Active K9’s boarding house. This program is great for those whose schedules don’t allow them to make the daily time commitment required by our Private Dog Training program.
My Approach to Obedience Training
Many people don’t have the time or energy to properly train their dog. I understand that you are busy, that is why I developed my board and train program. I host this program in my home, giving your dog structured and consistent training that is refined to give you extraordinary results. Effective training helps develop happy and confident dogs, not to mention a strengthened bond founded on love, trust, and respect. I use traditional and contemporary training styles, combining the most effective and efficient aspects of each for superior results.
Don’t wait to get your puppy or adult dog the training they need and deserve. Take a look at my courses down below to get a better idea of what you can expect. Please give me a call to learn more about my approach to training or reserve a spot.
Why Choose a Board and Train?
- You have a busy schedule
- You don’t know how to train your dog or puppy
- You need more advanced training done by an experienced professional
- Your pup is exhibiting problem behaviors that seem to be getting worse
- You want the best life for your dog
- You want to form a bond between you and your furry companion built on trust

Puppy Basic Obedience Board & Train
This program is for dogs 4-7 months old. The board and train is a minimum of five weeks.
- Halfway through your puppy’s program, you’ll receive a weekly private lesson to learn what your puppy has learned. These weekly sessions guarantee a smooth and confident transition when your puppy returns home. One week after the completion of your puppy’s board and train, we will do an in-home private session.
- This package also includes one year of unlimited access to group classes.
- To guarantee the obedience training in this program, your puppy will be worked by multiple handlers during their stay with me. This will generalize the training to any handler who knows your puppy’s commands.
- Behaviors covered during the five weeks include: “Here,” “Sit,” “Down”, ”Place,” or “Crate,” loose leash walking, stay, socialization, and basic manners.


Basic Obedience with Behavior Modification
This board and train is for adult dogs in need of basic obedience and behavior modification. This program is a minimum of six weeks long.
- Halfway through your dog’s program, you will receive a weekly private lesson to learn what your dog has learned. These weekly sessions guarantee a smooth and confident transition when your dog returns home. One week after the completion of your dog’s board and train, we will do an in-home private session.

A LA CARTE BOARD & TRAIN
My A La Carte Board and Train was originally designed for behavior modification cases, as time went on, I noticed how beneficial it was for parents on a budget and parents with limited time for training. This is an eight-day, seven-night board and train that includes one private lesson the day your dog returns home and one private lesson one week after the completion of your dog’s board and train. This is a pay-as-you-go board and train, meaning that at the end of each week, you decide if you are happy with the level of training your dog is at or if you want to extend his stay another week.
- Behaviors typically worked in my A La Carte board and train include loose leash walking, socialization, reactivity, recall, obedience tune-up, handling issues, aggression, anxiety, and crate training.
